Some emails you don’t want to miss.
And since most people’s inboxes are flooded with messages…
And email service providers like Google and Outlook will occasionally mistake legit emails as spam…
Important, don’t-wanna-emails have a tendency to get missed.
A lot.
Well, we can’t help you with your overcrowded inbox (that’s a topic for a different blog post), but we can help ensure emails you want aren’t accidentally banished to your junk folder.
How?
By showing you how to “whitelist” them.
Quick Guide:
A whitelist allows senders or domains to bypass spam filters and deliver emails straight to your inbox.
Want to prioritize messages from your boss or favorite blog?
Want to make sure you get that can’t-miss newsletter each week? Or updates on the course, product, or game you purchased?
Well, when you add their email address or domain to your whitelist, your email service provider gives them VIP access to your inbox.
If it sounds like technical mumbo jumbo, don’t worry…
We’ll show you how to do it for all the popular email service providers, step by step.
And we’ll start with the biggest one…

Here’s how you do it:
Creating a whitelist in AOL Mail is similar to Yahoo. You’re essentially adding a contact to a safe senders list.
All you need to do is:
If you have Zoho and AOL, you’ll be happy to know that the process is exactly the same!
Just like with AOL Mail, you’ll need to:
Like Gmail, ProtonMail allows you to customize your filters so you only see the most relevant content.
Follow these instructions to get started:
Not every email provider lets you filter your mail based on IP addresses.
However, Gmail has a quick system that is easy to follow.
This is what you do:
By following the steps provided above, you can help ensure the emails you actually care about end up where they belong…
In your inbox.
Happy whitelisting.
